Description
Explore the complex histories, debates, and contemporary trajectories of Arab feminism in this advanced Arabic course, Arab Feminism. The course offers an interdisciplinary engagement with feminist thought, activism, cultural production, and struggles for social justice across the Arab world (but sometimes, not only), while further developing students’ advanced Arabic language skills. Through literary texts, political writings, media, film, manifestos, and intellectual debates, students will examine how feminist movements in the region have emerged in relation to colonialism, nationalism, state formation, religion, capitalism, and social transformation. The course highlights the diverse voices and experiences that have shaped feminist thought and practice across different Arab contexts, moving beyond simplified or monolithic understandings of “Arab feminism.” At the same time, the course situates Arab feminist traditions within broader global feminist conversations. Students will engage in comparative discussions with Black feminisms, postcolonial feminisms, intersectional feminisms, Latin American feminisms, and other Global South feminist frameworks in order to explore both convergences and tensions across feminist movements worldwide. The course strengthens students’ abilities to critically engage with complex texts and discussions while expanding their vocabulary and fluency in academic and cultural contexts. By the end of the course, students will not only have advanced their Arabic proficiency, but also developed a deeper critical understanding of feminism as a global, historically situated, and politically contested field of thought and practice. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/06 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/07 Full Price Start at - 1500 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.
